A leading Chinese company, Longi, has introduced a new line of dustproof solar panels, continuing its commitment to providing sustainable energy solutions. The Hi-MO X10 anti-dust solar panels were unveiled at the Jinan International Solar Energy Conference, according to reports from the Washington-based Specialized Energy Platform.

These panels are designed to enhance the efficiency and reliability of solar power generation, which plays an increasingly important role in the global energy landscape.

The Hi-MO X10 solar panels offer impressive electricity production capabilities, ranging from 640 to 670 watts, with energy efficiency levels between 23.7% and 24.8%. These advancements are reflective of solar energy's growing importance in reshaping how we generate electricity.

The panels, which were first introduced in October 2023, feature the latest HPBC 2.0 cell technology and a unified half-cell design, benefiting from over two years of rigorous testing to ensure performance.

One of the key features of the new solar panels is their dustproof design, which increases energy production by more than 10% compared to conventional TOPCon inert contact panels. This technology ensures better performance even in dusty environments, and the panels have an open-circuit voltage of 53.70V to 54.30V under standard test conditions.

Additionally, Longi claims a low degradation rate, with only a 1% decrease in performance during the first year, followed by an annual rate of just 0.35% over 30 years.

The advantages of Longi's dustproof panels extend beyond just improved efficiency. They also feature better shading tolerance, reducing energy loss from shaded areas by 70%. Their fire prevention mechanisms ensure lower thermal hotspots, reducing the risk of fire.

Longi's President Zhong Baoxin emphasized the rapid expansion of the solar industry, highlighting that it took 68 years to achieve the first terawatt of solar energy, while the second terawatt was reached in just two years. With solar energy’s growth expected to continue at a fast pace, Longi forecasts global solar PV capacity will exceed 5,000 gigawatts by 2030.
